A Ryanair Boeing 737 aborted its landing at Dublin Airport after the aircraft's wingtip made contact with the runway. The incident was captured on video by a passenger, and the flight subsequently performed a go-around.
A Ryanair Boeing 737 aircraft was forced to abort its landing attempt at Dublin Airport following an incident where the plane's wingtip struck the runway surface. The event, which occurred during the final approach, prompted the flight crew to initiate a go-around procedure to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its passengers.
Footage of the incident, recorded by a passenger on board, shows the moment the wingtip made contact with the tarmac. Following the aborted landing, the aircraft remained in the air briefly before successfully completing a subsequent landing. There have been no immediate reports of injuries to passengers or crew members. Aviation authorities are expected to review the incident as part of standard safety protocols to determine the specific conditions that led to the wingtip strike, such as wind conditions or pilot handling during the approach. Ryanair has not yet released a detailed technical statement regarding potential damage to the aircraft or the specific cause of the maneuver.
